Written ministerial statementMade by Dan JarvisThe Minister of State for SecurityHome OfficeHCWS805

Today the independent Report of the Inquiry into the Death of Jalal Uddin was published by His Honour Thomas Teague KC.

Retired Imam Jalal Uddin was brutally murdered in Rochdale on 18 February 2016 and, in November 2023, the then Home Secretary asked HH Thomas Teague KC to investigate how and in what circumstances he came by his death.

The Government will review this report and consider how to respond in due course.

I would like to thank His Honour Thomas Teague KC for his work to understand what happened to Mr Uddin and identify what we can learn from it that will help to prevent a recurrence of such an horrific event in future.

The report has been laid before the House and copies will be available from the Vote Office. It will also be available to view both on GOV.UK and on the Inquiry website at: Jalal Uddin Inquiry - Jalal Uddin Inquiry
